The Phones

Last year, Al went on a rampage in his search and collection of vintage phones. Here is a small sampling of the collection (though only touch tones are pictured, there is an equally impressive array of rotaries that awaits around the corner).

In the right hand side of the blog, you'll see reference to the phone list. Our goal is to attach each phone to our internal VoIP network complete with its own number. We'll be updating the list as the project proceeds. Feel free to call in the meantime. Just not in the middle of the night.

Exactly my sentimonies

I was inspired by the sentiment even as I was overwhelmed with a fascist longing for a State Spelling Authority to prevent this type of atrocity from happening ever again.

Chuck's new haircut

Chuck's just a boy with a new hair cut. It's a pretty nice hair cut too.

Garden Claw ... Gold edition!

Where has this been all my life?

Our new comforter

The old one was called Bluey, a clearance purchase I made in 2002 from Bed, Bath and Beyond in DC. Bluey was a product (well, screw was... still is... just still is in the back of my closet) of The Pacific Coast Feather Company. I prefer to affectionately refer to them as simply Pacific Coast Feather.

As Alexi said the other day, any company with the word Feather in their name has to be good.

So, we decided to get a larger comforter. While we have a queen size bed, I'm clearly a cover hog, and there's no better way to solve that than a bigger cover. So comes the king size comforter and matching duvet, pictured above. I've been hesitant for months over the replacement, but Alexi has been cheering it on and touting the pluses for quite some time.

As such, below is a picture of the lovely creature on our bed. We haven't named it yet, but it does go well with the walls and the lighting. And, of course, it's nice and toasty.

As you can tell by now, I'm not the best at blogging. I hope that you've enjoyed my feeble attempts at doing so along with a picture of our bed and comforter.

Room with a View

Here's a picture outside of our window... March 22, 2009. Clear and beautiful mountains in the distance. It's good to have land.

My cat *is* pretty dirty

Jump to 5:10 for the set-up, and 5:57 for the pay-off.
